Great news everyone, if you have been thinking about getting into car tuning and ecu remapping but never done it, this is for you! We are very pleased to announce the biggest competition we have ever run, it is probably the only one like it in the car tuning industry.

Here is your chance to win a Viezu Car Tuning Franchise!

It’s open to everyone interested in car tuning and ecu remapping anywhere in the world experts and novices alike. There are no catches and entry to this great competition is of course free.

For those that know a little about tuning, you may recognise it as torque map, you will see its been very badly modified, its really terrible, boasting a 165% increase! But in fact this is a limp home” torque map – and that it was clearly modified by a poor tuner who did not know his alterations were being copied onto all the torque maps on the car possibly one of the worst files we have ever seen

If you are tuning or want to please don’t be afraid to ask for support – we are here to help.
Whatever the tuning system you are using, you may sometimes think it’s a good idea to copy the increments over…..with disastrous results!!

Many people interested in car tuning and ecu remapping don’t always get the full picture explained, its easy to become confused, if you are looking at moving into car tuning, chip tuning or ecu remapping our advice is hold on, slow down and take a good look at your options.

Too many people interested in moving into car tuning get bad advice or rush their decision thinking its all just about price, they may be considering operating either as a dealer offering car tuning and ecu remapping services, or writing their own master tuning files and operating a master tuning system – there is much to consider.

Golden Tips for Car Tuning Operators

If you are looking at moving into car tuning and ecu remapping, or choosing a tuning software provider here are our golden rules:

• Very importantly – Go and see your potential car tuning software provider, this is not an industry where you can “fake it until you make it” one wrong ecu remapping tuning file can close you down! You need to know your remap software provider and master file provider can support you and know what they are doing – don’t buy on the phone or internet.
• Check out their facilities – never meet at “your place” or a hotel – you need to know they are the real deal, not just a flash website
• Do they have a dyno – if not how exactly are they going to support you and write quality tuning files – library and formula files will not give you the flexibility and quality you need to grow your business.
• Choose a car tuning and ecu remap provider that can prove they emission test their tuning files – this is really important and is really a legal requirement
• Do they really write all their own car tuning software, many claim to, but few do, it’s important otherwise they will provide library files that can cause many issues, and they will not be able to correct these issues or custom tailor the file to your customer’s needs – this will lose you business. Insist on a detailed demonstration by them of their skills. Drive it before you buy it.
• Is their technical support and training free – it must be, if they want to charge you for support and training, your best interest is clearly not their priority!
• You want a tuning provider that gives free marketing support, ask them how will they help you grow your tuning business.
• Quality matters – of course price is important, but a cheap service, with little back up and support offering cheap tuning files – can be very expensive! And may just close your business before your open day balloons have deflated, you need quality support and quality tuning – never touch a tuner who will not give you a money back guarantee on all the services they offer
• You need a professional team behind you to support you – avoid anyone offering tuning files and ecu remapping tuning support who don’t have a serious technical support team – you should be looking for 365 days a year support as well as a tuning file and tuning support service from at least 8am – 8pm, 7 days a week, its what your customers will ask for.
• Are they insured for writing tuning files. Run a mile if you can’t see both public liability and product liability specifically for ecu remapping and car tuning services – your customers will want to see this – so you do want a copy in your hand! If they don’t have it, do not use them no matter what they offer, you are only exposing you and your business.
• Number one golden rule – can you move your tool? If it all goes wrong and you are not happy will they release your tool so another remap provider can take over – some tuners charge a fee for this, but some poor tuners will not release tools at all ever, you have paid your money and now you are stuck with them, your tool is locked and you cant leave! – its money thrown away. Never ever sign up or buy a tool from a tuner who will not put it in writing that they will release the tool if you ask.

Iso certification, awards, independent testimonials are all good pointers too, you need to look for quality support if you are going to make it in this industry.

Back to our first tip – Go and see your potential ecu remapping tuning partner and support provider.

Thursday saw the most recent of our dealer seminars, this year rather than one large seminar for all Viezu dealers, we have chosen to hold smaller group sessions, taking the format of workshops rather than formal presentations, the sessions focus on support, sales, product presentation, marketing and very importantly fleet tuning and B2B customers

We had a good day with some of our best dealers, we often feel tuning can be quite a “remote” business, so it’s always so good to meet our dealers and for them to meet each other to share ideas and work together. We treat tuning very seriously, and we know car tuning dealers need the very best support, the best tuning tools and equipment and to be up to speed with the very fast paced tuning industry – we love these days and we hope all that attended had a great time

For the first time this week the Viezu Training Academy is holding is world class car tuning training sessions in Dubai, the VTA training course being held has been specially put together to cover vehicles and tuning for the Middle East Region.

The training is full on and very detailed, covering how to down load car ecu files, how to find the files key for tuning, how to change them and by how much, nothing is left uncovered, including how to copy ecu files, re-use and clone tuning files.

Automechanika ME – for the fourth year running we will be at the Dubai Automechanika show this year, the show opens Tuesday 22nd – 24th And for the first time the Viezu technical academy will be training at the weekend after the show – want to know everything about car tuning – get into Viezu, come and see us at the show on the Mustang Dyno stand, or mail us now.

For the first time the Viezu Academy is now looking to hold euro car tuning and ecu remapping courses and classes in Canada. Viezu already has a number of dealers in Canada, and has trained many car tuners from Canada both in our UK courses and at our Car tuning academy courses held in the USA.

The technical academy has now received so many applications and requesting to hold our training on site in Canada this year we are going to arrange some dates, we still need to make final arrangements but we hope to hold our first Canadian euro car tuning course around August / September.

This week we have been back to our roots with some Jaguar XK Tuning again, we just love this Jaguar XK 5.0 tuning is so productive. This fine example of the Jaguar XK is the supercharged 5.0, it was in with us this week from a very special customer. Work to be completed was full jaguar performance exhaust, modified supercharger pulley and Viezu ecu remap to pull it all together.

The Viezu Jaguar tuning delivered over 50bhp and a very significant increase in throttle responce and midrange acceleration.
